Rules Q&A
- Q: The question is, since the ranged attack isn't actually coming from the spell, is the personality the spell is attached to performing the ranged attack?
A: No.
No one and no thing "performs" Wrath of the Elements' ability.
CE Rulebook, pg. 35:
"Perform: A Personality or Follower is performing an action if its controller is the player taking the action, and any of these things is true:
• The action comes from an ability on the Personality or Follower. • The action comes from an ability on an Item or Spell in the Personality’s unit. • The Personality or Follower was targeted in the action’s constraint block (the section between the two colons)."
Wrath meets none of those three criteria. Brook Cunningham, "Wrath of the Elements", 20 Jul 2009
